The WATER STORY
Buried in the Dirt in Quartzsite

It's anything but a typical small town.

Quartzsite's embattled town hall has a reputation for humiliating diatribes from the bench, unparalleled  limits to free speech, inaccountability to taxpayers, unqualified additions to state law [to prevent people from running for office that are accused of owing the town money,] nepotism [hiring relatives to paid positions,] hiring the unqualified without putting positions out for bid, slander of people that stand in opposition to their activities, retaliation to people attempting to hold them to some level of accountability, cap fees that are outrageously expensive, water and sewer fees that are so exorbitant they promise to break remaining park and show owners and more.

No one that cares about the Town of Quartzsite could subscribe to the actions of the sitting town council.

The town is broke and OVER $ 4 MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. They continue to spend money without accountability and have BLOCKED ALL EFFORTS TO AUDIT THE BOOKS to see what happened to all those missing funds. Yet many of these leaks have been exposed and are not stopping. What are they hiding and why?

The MINESHAFT came into being because only one side of the story was ever being told.
The MINESHAFT is not affiliated with those in charge when missing monies became a problem.
The MINESHAFT is not affiliated with any of the relatives of those in charge when money went missing.
The MINESHAFT has an impact because it represents those who have no voice here  - Our Citizens.
The MINESHAFT has not criticized law enforcement.
The MINESHAFT will continue to tell the truth, the complete truth, without exception, about what's happening in Quartzsite.
The MINESHAFT prints only what can be proven.
The MINESHAFT is not funded by the town and will take no funds from the town, ever.

The Truth About Recalls

  • The 'acting Mayor' of Quartzsite, Wesley Huntley, and others that have [or have had] recall papers created or pending against them present the 'fact' that recalls are costing the town money. How much is it costing Quartzsite's citizens to leave these people in office when they WILL NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE for MILLIONS IN MISSING FUNDS?

    Quartzsite citizens repeatedly asked the council to:

    1. ]    Stop holding meetings away from Quartzsite's citizens where they cannot be attended BY CITIZENS as provided for under our LAWS;
    2. ]    Not appoint a Mayor but allow the ELECTION of one as provided for under our LAWS;
    3. ]    Honor the Sunshine law as written to prevent the council from engaging in secret meetings as provided for under the LAW;
    4. ]    Allow the citizenry to speak at public meetings without fear of humiliation or retribution as provided for under our LAWS;
    5. ]    Stop any and all CONFLICTS OF INTEREST as provided for under our LAWS;
    6. ]    Hire PROFESSIONALS who can do a PROFESSIONAL job as provided for under the LAW;
    7. ]    Determine established PROTOCOL and do as other municipalities do without malice or regard for particular persons or groups, treating all citizens equally as provided for under the LAW.

    Since these matters were so insignificant as to be IGNORED by Quartzsite's sitting council, it is the RIGHT OF THE CITIZENRY to recall these elected officials.
  • No Recall is even remotely as expensive as having people in office -- spending the public's monies -- while refusing to be accountable to their constituents.
     
  • Recall is also the only remaining recourse for the election [or appointment] of officials who are unwilling to represent the interests of their constituents.

    There is a way for officials to avoid RECALL: LISTEN to the CITIZENS.

The Truth About FOIA Requests

  • Foster's use of FOIA document requests is PROTECTED UNDER the LAW.
     
  • Officials of the Town of Quartzsite have ignored many of Foster's requests, which is AGAINST THE LAW.
     
  • Foster is entitled to the documents which he has requested UNDER THE LAW.
     
  • Foster's use of FOIA to request water related documents is APPROPRIATE UNDER the LAW.
     
  • Officials of the Town of Quartzsite may refuse to answer which is AGAINST THE LAW.
     
  • Foster is entitled to those water related documents which he has requested UNDER THE LAW.
